Create custom EDID

Just a random question, what’s the easiest/best way to create a custom edid?
Actual “problem” is getting the most out of an old HD-ready display, both modes listed below works just fine - but a bit annoying to move the # and reboot.
# hdmi_cvt=1360 768 50 3 0 0 1
hdmi_cvt=1360 768 60 3 0 0 1

I think you can add both and both modes will be supported.

You can only have one custom hdmi mode in config.txt.

However 1360x768@60 is a standard DMT mode.
Does the edid report that? (should see it reported in kodi debug log or with “tvservice -m DMT”)

Assuming it does it should be possible to use that and the custom 1360x768@50 mode.
If it doesn’t then capturing the edid to a file and editing that should make 1360x768@60 available.

Yes, but via EDID it only supports 1280x720(forgotten if both 50Hz & 60Hz), and as I wrote both custom modes work just fine - but only one at a time :frowning:

If you follow this:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Raspberry_Pi_FAQ#TV_is_not_detected_unless_powered_on_first
You’ll end up with edid being read from a file.
It should be possible to use an edid editor (google search, I’m not sure what is best) to add DMT mode 39 (1360x768@60).
Then you can add 1360x768@50 as a custom mode as before.

Hmm, ok I’ll see if I can do a single mode edid file and add the other mode in config.txt

Sadly no - I’ve tried.

Sigh … , I’m glad I don’t have any new Philips TVs, it seem to require an EDID “handshake”.
The current “solution” is to have “hdmi_cvt=1360 768 60 3 0 0 1” in config.txt and then via ssh execute “vcgencmd hdmi_cvt 1360 768 50 3 0 0 1” (vice versa seems to work as well) and then run “systemctl restart mediacenter”.
